just because the title calls it "Wikipedia's [photo]" doesn't mean it was organized by Wikipedia

two people (three if you read the article) of their own accord uploaded the photos to Wikipedia

the title could also say "the people that are mildly famous because of a photo they uploaded to Wikipedia..." but that's unnecessarily verbose

nothing in your comment indicated sarcasm. unless you're brand new to the Internet you should know perfectly well that pure-text communication lacks the fidelity to indicate that. this is why so many times over the age of the internet people have tried to add in a way to communicate that either with "/s" or SaRcAsM/mOcKiNg CaSe, or italics sometimes, someone once even tried to make a sarcasm mark

I said nothing to cheapen taxi drivers or their profession. I respect and appreciate it a great deal, especially with examples of them unionizing. That doesn't change the fact that the profession does not create a thing. I find it disingenuous that you would suggest that not calling a profession creative would diminish it.

Garbagemen, for instance, is a profession that is very much worth respecting but also which does not create anything.

the steam page warns you of third party launches before you buy the game doesn't it?

so at least if it does happen it shouldn't be a surprise

content, mostly

but you keep moving around and are holding a big rectangle so also a bit of "what are you doing?" whenever you move. but not too much since you're not moving around a lot

they're side-eyeing you when there's movement just to keep a little tab on what's going on around them

no way to know why they're keeping tabs, if they were scared they'd keep you more in field of view

That is not the barrier.

who said there is only one barrier?

they will try to learn an[d] adapt

you will, sure, but no not everyone will. think less on tech savvy people and more on those that know that "the Internet is the big blue e when I turn on the computer (their monitor)"

those people outnumber us tech savvy individuals at least two-to-one and they deserve an OS that is easier to use then memorizing command line commands

The user interface on the left and the command prompt on the right does kinda highlight a barrier to mass Linux adoption.

if we want more people on Linux let's normalize not having to use the command line for everything.

if for no other reason than to have a bit of a different answer:

Raboniel from Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson

Her interaction with Navani made for some VERY good chapters

it's probably impossible to get downvotes to be anything other than agree/disagree buttons at this point, but I like to dream of a world where it's for contributes-to-productive-conversation/mindless-nonsense-or-hate-speech.

Downvotes should only be for posts like

lol this ^

I've never been able to imagine a system that could convince random users to use it like that, though.

honestly Thunder doesn't get enough love in posts like these. you often expect FOSS apps to not be very good, but I can't imagine using anything other than Thunder at this point
